be kind. to you. - https://mailchi.mp/f612fca669d8/bye-bye-perfect-17444437
In The Heart of Yoga, Desikachar says that yoga begins with relationship — and the first one is with yourself.
It’s easy to forget that.
To get busy doing, fixing, improving, proving.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, the voice we use with ourselves gets hard.
It’s noticing what’s there and not rushing to fix it.
It’s giving yourself the space to breathe before reacting.
Kindness is so quiet.
That’s where yoga really begins.
